Effects of Changing Student Characteristics on Attrition at the New England College of Optometry.

Katz, Arnold; Clausen, Larry

Journal of Optometric Education, v15 n1 p16-18 Fall 1989

A study of characteristics of four classes entering the New England College of Optometry at five-year intervals were analyzed for a relationship between gender, Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, and attrition. No interaction with gender was found, but lower SAT scores were found to be associated with higher attrition levels. (Author/MSE)
